Explanation:

Step1: Define cost formula

Let $n$ = number of toppings. Total cost: $C = 12 + 1.50n$

Step2: Calculate for 2 toppings

Substitute $n=2$:
$C = 12 + 1.50\times2 = 12 + 3 = 15$

Step3: Calculate for 4 toppings

Substitute $n=4$:
$C = 12 + 1.50\times4 = 12 + 6 = 18$

Answer:

Number of toppings	Price of the pizza in dollars
